Castle Builders: The Secrets of Medieval Engineering - Full Documentary

Video Description

🛡️ What if we could step back 800 years… and build a medieval castle from scratch? Welcome to the real-life time machine of Guédelon! 🏰 In this extraordinary documentary, discover how 13th-century castles were designed, engineered, and built… not just in theory, but in practice. At Guédelon, in the heart of France, modern-day builders are recreating a fortress using only authentic medieval tools and techniques. Through 3D reconstructions and expert insights, we travel back to the golden age of castles — a time when fortresses were not just military strongholds, but symbols of power, centers of justice, and the beating heart of feudal life. Explore the evolution of siege defenses, from catapults to murder holes, and see how ingenious architects of the Middle Ages turned raw stone and timber into nearly impenetrable fortresses. This is the story of invention, survival… and stone-cold medieval brilliance.
